Emirates has taken delivery of its first Airbus A350, marking a major fleet milestone. The A350, powered partly by SAF, will enter service in January 2025, debuting on flights to Edinburgh and eight other destinations.
Emirates’ first A350, out of an order of 65 aircraft, is registered 6A-EXA and flew from Toulouse directly to Dubai.
The A350’s introduction will enable Emirates to expand into new destinations globally, including mid-sized airports unsuited for larger aircraft. The Emirates A350 will be delivered in two versions – one for regional routes and one for ultra-long-haul routes.
The Emirates A350 features three spacious cabin classes, accommodating 312 passengers in 32 next-generation Business Class lie-flat seats, 21 Premium Economy seats and 259 generously pitched Economy Class seats. The latest onboard products reflect the airline’s commitment to delivering a premium passenger experience while optimising operational efficiency.
The Emirates A350 is the first new aircraft type to join Emirates’ fleet since 2008.
It’s finally here! The Emirates A350 has officially arrived in Dubai.
Featuring the latest-generation cabin interiors, our highly sought-after Premium Economy, and the same exceptional service you’ve come to expect, the A350 has elegance in every detail. https://t.co/wgi83irfVI pic.twitter.com/q5rxWle11Q
